hey all,
this is my first post on this board as i was just referred over here from handymanwire.com.
i've been doing plumbing work in my spare time for a couple years now. nothing too major--faucet changes, sinks, toilets, shower pans/drains, branched off plumbing to make a new bathroom, water heater install, etc.
i love plumbing and think i would really enjoy the install aspect of it. i'm not too interested in clearing toilets and sinks though. i'd be open to commercial or resedential, but my preference is resedential.
how do i break into this field? should i get into the union? is that the first place i should start? i'm in the san francisco bay area and with all the construction going on i figure it would be a great time.
thanks for the help!
